CREAMY LEMON POPPY SEED DRESSING

Pour this dressing over fruit salads or salads with fresh berries.

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Dressings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup plain yogurt
3 tbsp. honey
minced zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. poppy seeds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
salt to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Mix yogurt, honey, zest, lemon juice and poppy seeds in a food processor or blender.
  • 2. With machine running, drizzle in oil til dressing is mixed. Season dressing with salt. Makes 8 servings, or 1 cup

Tips:

  • Use high-quality poppy seeds: Fresh poppy seeds will have a better flavor and texture than old or stale seeds. Look for poppy seeds that are a light gray or blue color and have a mild, nutty aroma.
  • Toast the poppy seeds: Toasting the poppy seeds will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant. Toast the poppy seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Watch the poppy seeds carefully so that they do not burn.
  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice will give the dressing a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice. If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use a good quality brand.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is a key ingredient in this dressing, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh eggs and oil and has a creamy, smooth texture.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking: The dressing should be creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet. If the dressing is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or milk. If the dressing is too sour, you can add a little bit of sugar or honey. If the dressing is too bitter, you can add a little bit of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

This creamy poppy seed dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is also a great dipping sauce for fruits, vegetables, and crackers. The dressing is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dressing, give this creamy poppy seed dressing a try.
